Description
"We began calling them Vinali Ravagers after their horrific assault on the Vinali colony. The name stuck, but it is a lie. In truth, they have no name. Because human lips and vowels and consonates were never meant to be spoken in regard to such things. They are hard to describe because our eyes never evolved to gaze upon such horrors. Their language, if one can call it that, hurts ears never designed to hear them speak.
So yes, I jettisoned the cargo section of the transport when those things got onboard. Yes, I knew there were 200 civilian colonists in stasis. Yes, I know what kind of prison sentence I face. But if you think for one second I'm going to apologize, all that tells me is that you've never seen a Vinali Ravager coming for you in the dark." -- Excerpt from the trial of Capt. Patricia May.
I was going for a mix between an H.R. Geiger xenomorph alien and Rinzler from Tron Legacy, as if imagined by H.P. Lovecraft. That gives you a pretty good idea of what a Vinali Ravager is like.

I don't think we'll be inviting him home for tea... Nice lighting and atmospherics in this, it really makes the creature much more scary.
marvelous image and wonderful render!
That's quite a beast. Imagine if, on its homeworld, this one is viewed as a pacifist ^-^ However, I like the idea of the fog-that-enhances-horror, but would have loved more details. So I'm torn between asking you pics with less or more visible ceatures ^-^
That is undoubtably one of the most alien-looking aliens that I've seen in awhile. Well done, he said, shuddering.
